Into the jungle: Safari Lodge/Caravan Hotel and Cimory Riverside

During our last trip to Puncak, we stayed at Safari Lodge - Caravan Hotel, which is a hotel managed by Taman Safari itself.

The weekdays rate is Rp 750,000/night (receive discount Rp 50,000 for entrance fee to TSI)
Weekend rate is about Rp 1 million 
However last time we were charged Rp 1,450,000/night (maybe due to long weekend) !! but we received 4 free tickets to TSI. 
Being an accountant i immediately counted the difference, it was about Rp 300,000 hehehe

The caravan was okay, all clean (although Toma found about 3 cockroaches) 
We were only provided with one blanket.. 
And it was verrryyy cold at night.. , so if you want to stay here better to bring extra blanket and jacket.

The breakfast was also so-so.. just standard fried noodle/bihun, soup, fruits, toast, cereal..

However the surrounding was very refreshing... 
There were lake, river..monkeys, swans, swings, statues of animals etc... 
Oh ya, the kids especially loved the swings.. :) 

I'm not picky, but i think i can get a better (and warmer) hotel with the same rate.
I guess they are trying to sell the "spend-the-night-at-the-jungle" experience..

Cimory Riverside

Before going back to Jakarta we decided to have lunch at Cimory Riverside..
When we arrived there the place was already packed with people.. we have to wait about 15 minutes for our table to be ready.

I think the place is like Bandung's Prima Rasa/ Kartika Sari..  everyone will stop here to buy some snacks/milk for their friends/families back in Jakarta.

We had some sausages and strawberry jelly, picked up some snacks and soya milk.., played at the playground, took some pictures and went home before the road was closed (one way up).

  4. Bon... ampun deh ya Safari Garden itu. Gak punya saingan sih ya. Gue smp skrg bingung loh kenapa gak ada yg bangun high end resort di Puncak. Ke Lembang aja org Jakarta niat dan mau bayar mahal kok. Sementara ke Puncak gak ada. Mana sering macet.

    Yang penting anak2 enjoy deh ya jalan2nya. Cimory itu kayak a must malah jadinya kayak gado2 diuwek2 hahaha. Makan jg bisa ga tenang.

      tapi kemarin aku ngelewatin novotel atau apa gitu lagi dibangun lho.
      mgkn karena puncak jalanannya kecil dan macet jd krg favorit ya...
      anak2 enjoy memang.... :)
